The test

He saw the man motioning for him to continue so he said : "This gauge must be for measuring the soul force and this crystal ball must be able to determine which elements we are compatible with."

The man nodded and said : "That's right, good deduction. Now Kevin let's get down to business. »

Kevin smirked, he couldn't wait to know the result of this test, it's been a while since he felt so excited.

The man said to him : "Please, start by putting your hand on the red button at the bottom of the gauge and you have to stare at the crystal at the top of it, it will allow me to control the power of your soul force."

He did so and immediately the gauge started to rise, it looked like a old thermometer of his world. The maximum that could be reached was 1000 and the gauge stopped at 180.

He had no idea what that number might mean, but if he had a soul force, it had to mean he could become a mage, right ?

He ended up looking at the man who didn't seem to have any reaction and the man said to him then : "Kevin, just put your hand on the crystal ball and I'll explain everything to you after the end of the test."

He obeyed, he was also very curious to know which elements he had an affinity with.

In the crystal ball a yellow glow appeared, then it has been replaced by a bright blue and finally the crystal ball returned to its original color.

When he wanted to withdraw his hand the man suddenly stood up and said hastily : "Wait ! Don't move your hand yet."

The man was looking at the crystal ball like he couldn't believe his eyes and finally he saw what the man had probably seen before him.

Silver sparks began to appear in the center of the crystal ball, and these sparks were transformed into real small lightning which now spread all over the surface of this strange ball.

His hand that was on it was starting to heat up seriously and he removed it when he started to feel a burn, he looked at his hand and indeed his palm was burnt.

The man walked around the table and took his hand, he covered it with his and a green light appeared.

He felt the pain disappear instantly and when the man returned his hand the burn mark was totally gone.

He said out loud : "So cool ! Thank you sir."

The man finally decided to introduce himself : "You're welcome, and you can call me Alan, I'll be one of your seniors when you will join the Sun Sect."

Alan was a famous mage in the Sun Sect, and his senses were very keen, he took Kevin's chin with his hand and rotated his head, when he saw his head injury he frowned.

He examined it and asked him : "The blood is still fresh but your wound seems healed, what happened to you ?"

Kevin had completely forgotten that he had a wound on his head, of course he couldn't tell him the truth.

If he told him that the owner of this body was dead and that when he had taken possession of this body, apparently the wound had healed on its own, he probably wouldn't believe him anyway.

So without even blinking he said to him : "I got pushed into the crowded street. My head hit the wall but luckily for me a stranger helped me out and after that I was no longer in pain."

He saw him frowned again and asked him curiously : "Is something wrong ?"

Alan after double checked that the wound had been healed properly and that it was not at risk of becoming infected, he said to him : "No, everything is fine. You were lucky that the one who helped you did a good job."

Alan saw that Kevin was looking again at the table where he had just taken the test and decided to explain to him what had just happened.

He asked him first : "Kevin do you have any idea of the result of the test and its meaning ?"

Kevin looked at Alan again, his eyes didn't betray his emotions, he had long since learned to hide them, but this new world was really, really exciting, so he just shook his head to let him know that he had really no idea about it.

Alan nodded and returned to sit behind the table, he motioned for him to sit down again and began his explanation.

He showed him the gauge which had allowed him to control his soul force and said : "As you can see it by yourself, your soul force has reached 180.

To be able to become a mage you must at least reach 150, so it was a close call for you."

Kevin opened his eyes wide, he had almost failed the test, this body was decidedly too weak, not only physically but apparently, it also lacked soul force.

Alan looked at him smiling and said : "Don't worry, the important point is that you are over 150, you will be able to train to improve your soul force once you will be in the Sect."

When Alan saw that Kevin seemed appeased he said to him : "Even if your soul force is rather weak at the moment, on the other hand your affinity with the elements is exceptional."

Alan was a little surprised by Kevin's behavior, since he had reacted to the news of his weak soul force, he had seen a glimmer of determination in his eyes, and then nothing, he couldn't guess at all what he was thinking.

He decided to continue his explanation to him and see if he could perceive any other emotion on that face which was looking at him politely but obviously with detachment.

He said to him : "Most mages have an affinity with one or two elements, but you have an affinity with three elements, let me explain to you.

The first that appeared in the crystal ball, the faint yellow glow, was the wind element. The first element that appears is always the weakest, and the last is the one with which you will have the most affinity and therefore which will be easier for you to master.

The blue light that appeared is the water element and the lightning that burned your hand is obviously the lightning element."

Kevin had frowned but Alan still couldn't figure out what he was thinking so he ended up telling him : "Kevin, that you have an affinity with three elements is already something extraordinary, but the most surprising is that your main element is the lightning one."

Kevin then asked curiously : "Why ?"
